This.

Johnny works in a factory Billy works downtownTerry works in a rock and roll bandLooking for that million dollar sound

I got a job down in DarlingtonSome nights I don’t goSome nights I go to the drive-inSome nights I stay home

I followed that dream Just like those guys do way up on the screenDrove my Challenger down Route 9 Through the dead ends and all the bad scenesThe promise was brokenCashed in a few of my dreams

Well I built that Challenger by myselfBut I needed money and so I sold itLived a secret I should’ve kept to myselfBut I got drunk one night and I told it

All my life, I fought that fightThe fight that you can’t winEvery day it just gets harder to live The dream you’re believing in

Thunder Road, baby, you were so rightThunder Road, something dying down on the highway tonight

Well I won big once and I hit the coastYeah, but I paid the costInside I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits Of all the other ones who lost

The promise is broken, you go on livingIt steals something from down in your soulWhen the truth is spoken, it don’t make no differenceSomething in your heart goes cold

I followed that dream through the southwestern tracksThat dead ends in the two-bit barsThe promise was broken, I was far away from home Sleeping in the back seat of a borrowed car

Thunder Road is for the lost lovers and all the fixed gamesThunder Road is for the tires rushing by in the rainThunder Road me and Billy we’d always singThunder Road, take it all and throw it all away
